## Summary

The Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust has recently awarded a contract for the supply of bedding, linen, and towels. The contract, titled "Supply of Bedding, Linen and Towels and Associated Services 2023", falls under the industry category of Made-up textile articles. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period ended on May 1, 2023, and the contract period is from August 1, 2023, to January 31, 2025, with a value of £600,000, and the delivery addresses include locations within the United Kingdom and internationally.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses involved in the textile industry, particularly those specializing in bedding, linen, and towels. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are considered suitable for this procurement. The contract aims to provide "Just in Time" deliveries to meet the Trust's needs and mitigate storage space requirements. Interested parties should note that the Trust is obliged to purchase any remaining stock at the end of the contract term, providing a potential longer-term partnership opportunity for suppliers.

## Notice

This is a contract for the supply of bedding, linen and towels to Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (The Trust) sites. The Trust lacks sufficient space to hold significant volumes of the goods on site. To mitigate delays due to manufacture lead times and ensure continuity of supply, the contract includes the requirement for "Just in Time" deliveries. The objective is to facilitate deliveries of the supplies to the Trust as and when required by frontline services, whilst mitigating the need for 3rd party storage space. At the end of the Contract Term, the Trust is obliged to purchase any stock held by the Supplier. The Contract has been procured via further competition under Lot 5 (Bedding, Linen and Towels) of the NHS Supply Chain Textiles and Associated Products Framework.
